Tesla launches Robotaxi app on Android nearly a year after iOS
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Tesla releases its Robotaxi app on Google Play Store for Android users, nearly a year after the iOS version launched in September 2025. Users request rides from Model Y fleets, view approaching license plates, control climate, seats, music, trip progress, drop-offs, and pay via Google Pay. This follows service expansion to Dallas and Houston.

Tesla releases its Robotaxi app on the Google Play Store, bringing the ride-hailing service to Android users for the first time.

The iOS version launched in September 2025, placing the Android release nearly a year behind. The app arrived on April 24, just days after Tesla expanded its Robotaxi service from Austin to Dallas and Houston.

Users request rides via the app from Tesla's fleet of specially configured Model Y vehicles. Once a ride confirms, the app displays the license plate of the approaching vehicle.
Inside the car, riders adjust climate controls and seat positioning, play music, monitor trip progress, modify the drop-off location, or request the vehicle to pull over. The Android version includes Google Pay integration for payment.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
